i've never been hugged by a man who wasn't my dad or my bf. my country is also one where friends don't really hug, it's seen as a bit intimate (even though some friends do it, just not most). literally i've never hugged my sister even if we spend a lot of time together even as adults.to get to the point yeah i am not very used to hugging and it has always felt a bit awkward to me. so, one of my his male friends always hugs both of us when we see him anywhere. and i don't think he did this for the first few years only somewhat recently. it makes me feel extremely, EXTREMELY awkward/nervous but i also never want to be impolite and decline. because he always hugs me (and my boyfriend of course too), and thanks to me feeling nervous around men in general, i think i actually started liking it. and maybe even him as a person, but i am not sure.i think the issue comes from me feeling like my bf isn't very into displays of affections. not even in public, just at home. he hugs me rarely, only sometimes if i'm sad and am open about it to him, and we never kiss either.in short i feel sad that me and my bf don't do anything romantic such as hugging or kissing, and when his friend hugs me i get relief from receiving affection.>inb4 just ask bf to hug/kiss you morethen he'll get sad or angry and keep saying he can never do anything right and then i never know what to do and i just drop the topic and don't bring it up again.
>>34588624You're stupid. Just tell him you want hugs and kisses and then he'll feel happy because his gf likes him and wants hugs and kisses from him. If he doesn't then he's stupid. This post has to be ragebait
